because i have a time frame for it to be ready in time for me to run it in before i drive up to QLD on the 14th of MAY.


That's the 1000k's is the running in i was talking about.

Silvia's etc. are fine over long distances.I've driven up to QLD about 5 times in my 180.It just puts a lot of k's on your car.

You're a mechanic by trade though... it does give you a bit of an advantage when it comes to getting a car back together!

It's always like that with cars, ends up taking twice as long and costing twice as much as you originally planned :-?

my car was converted from a shitty auto non turbo into a manual SR20DET in around 6 or 7 hours... I win :P

BUT this is after having the car off the road for 3 months waiting for a new hub, then 5 weeks waiting to get my rego back after the RTA stuffed up (they cancelled my rego saying i hadnt cleared a defect, but I actually had, so i then had to wait 5 weeks for a court date.. then won muhahah)

I think i'm getting Ark's bad luck. :(

My car was due to be ready today, but it's now been delayed another 2 weeks. :x

I'm sick of bumming rides and borrowing other people's cars.

I JUST WANT MY CAR BACK!!!! :evil:
